Hey Everybody!

Happy New Year to you all!  Well, I've noticed two (among many) 
discussions goind on within PD.  One is the ongoing debate about what to 
drink while smoking.  I've noticed everything from Port to Single Malt 
Scotch, applying to cigar smokers and pipe smokers alike.  I spent a 
couple months in Cambridge, England this summer and learned to mightily 
hate Port, and I'm not a Scotch drinker.  So, while I'm no expert, I'd 
like to recommend a nice glass of Crown Royal on the rocks.  I have one 
with my pipe every now and then, and I find that the two tastes are a 
happy marriage.  The second discussion I've noticed involves pressuring 
Steve to split the digest.  Well Steve, for what it's worth, I'm glad 
you've already decided not to.  God knows how much time you spend 
compiling the existing PD, I think most of us think it's a little 
unrealistic and impractical to ask you to be working on two separate 
digests.  Anyway, great job and thanks for all you do for us.  I really 
enjoy reading PD.  It may be January, but its 74 degrees, sunny, and 
clear outside my window here in Southern California right now, and I 
personally believe pipes smoke better in cold weather, so I helps to keep 
in touch with all the smokers out there freezing their tails off.  Take 
care everybody.

Scott
